Parking Fee Rises To $2

June 12, 1987

The cost of parking at the Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, has increased to $2 from $1.

The increase is the first since a parking fee was begun in 1982 after additional parking lots were built at the garden. Money from the higher fee will be used to help serve an expected increase in the number of visitors.

There is no admission fee at the garden.

The garden, on land owned by the Cook County Forest Preserve, is on Lake- Cook Road a half mile east of the Edens Expressway. It is open from 8 a.m. until sunset every day except Christmas.
